Card grading is an evaluation
system designed to measure an
animal’s breeding potential. It is
non-competitive as each animal is
measured against standard for the
breed rather than other animals at
the show or the commercial ideal.
This means that if there are several
excellent animals in a group all
will be graded as excellent.

Alternative Sheep Judging
PITTSBORO, N.C. Among
the many exciting events at the
1992 Maryland Sheep and Wool
Festival was a demonstration of
card grading, an alternative meth
od of evaluating breeding stock.
The American Mina* Breeds
Conservancy sponsored the de
monstration to evaluate groups of
sheep representing five minor
breeds - Cotswold, English Lei
cester, Clun Forest, Jacob, and
Shetlands.

tor of AMBC chaired the event
Other evaluators were David
Greene, Cooperative Extension
Service sheep specialist for Mary
land, and Dr. David Lincicome,
sheep and goat breeder and judge.
Each animal is examined by
three breed specialists using the
breed standaid to evaluate each
animal. Animals are not compared
with pen mates or neighbors.
A verbal or written report is
provided by the evaluators and a
colored card is attached to the ani
mal or pen which designates its
quality as a breeding animal: Blue
- Excellent breeding stock; Red -
Good; Yellow - Acceptable:
White - Unacceptable for breed
ing.
Unacceptable animals are those
which do not conform to the breed
standard or are suffering from
genetic or physical unsoundness.
These animals are excused from
the show and should not be used
for breeding or sold as breeding
stock.

pressure exists among breeders of
show stock to select for character
istics favoring success in the show
ring. This selection can lead to de
creased genetic diversity and even
away from soundness and pro
ductivity.
The American Minor Breeds
Conservancy is an organization of
over 4,000 members promoting
rare and endangered breeds of
livestock and the genetic diversity
these breeds represent.
AMBC is promoting card grad
ing, says Bixby, because many
judges in the show ring are un
familiar with rare breeds and
therefore evaluate them using the
same criteria as for popular com
mercial breeds.
